Brian Lister started the Lister car company in 1954, building a sports car with a tubular ladder chassis and installing a MG powertrain. The picture above shows the factory team with the second iteration, using a Bristol 2 litre engine, allowing them to compete in a different class. In the drivers seat, is Archie Scott Brown, who finished in second place in the sports car support race at the 1954 British Grand Prix. Nice... uhmm... Dagmars.
A further move to Jaguar engines from the retiring D type racers allowed Listers to continue their winning ways for another five years.
